Caleb Elijah’s Baby Registries

A few weeks ago, Sarah texted me and said that her belly-button seems to have “popped” and she was wondering if that meant that Caleb was ready to come out. I know that she’s getting to the point in pregnancy where she would love for Caleb to come any day now. And I’m pretty excited about that too – but I also realize how much preparation we still have to do before that can happen!

We’ve been in Ashland, Oregon for about a week and a half now. Sarah’s parents are coming tonight or tomorrow, and they’re going to help us get the rest of our house unpacked, setup and put together. It’s going to be really helpful. Sarah’s dad will be working on the crib, which is a goodo thing, since I’ve heard that many marriages almost ended when the couple tried to work to put the crib together.

So We’ve Decided On a Name…

It’s been decided. And it’s a good story.

A few weeks ago, Sarah and I talked about names…we had quite a few that we were tossing around.

So, we took a walk and talked about some different options. There were probably about 8 first names we were talking about. A few days later, we tossed around a couple different middle names.

Early the next week, I wrote down a name and thought about it for awhile: Caleb Eli Walker Cleaveland (though I was also wondering about Caleb Elijah).
